Another Delay for Mozambique’s Licensing Round

Friday, April 17, 2015

The government of Mozambique delayed the close of its fifth oil and gas licensing round again. The round was supposed to close in mid-January, then the government pushed it to April 30 due to what they said was a “high level of interest” and a request for more time from interested firms.

The government said that the new date for the closing of the round is now July 30; it did not give a reason for this latest delay.

The 15 blocks on offer include three new areas of the northern Rovuma Basin, where significant natural gas reserves have already been discovered.
